[QUOTE="Charles A, post: 81433, member: 231"] Well if your looking for more of a hunting gun, the Stevens will do fine. They arent meant for rapid shooting though, so comps are probably out. They dont offer them in WSM's, but you could get one in 300win, or even 308win. They shoot just like all the Savages, very good. On average (for me) the skinny barreled savages shoot about 1/4 to 3/8in bigger groups, versus the varmint/tactical versions, at 100yds. The 300win with Federal gold medal 190grSMK should shoot 1-1.25in at 100yds, I dont see there being much of a problem getting 3/4in with handloads. I've already set a couple people up with the stevens in 308win with a couple of the scopes metioned above, and its about as cheap as an honest 600yrd gun can be. [/QUOTE]
